must excuse me, and "Samanthy Jane" and
Matte must write again and give their address
themselves. have had two letters, one from
gentleman and one from a lady, for you, but
there are so many little letters can only give
one, and as it is full of good advice want you

WHO does not love the month of October
with all its golden beauty? There is some
thing in nature this month that causes an in
describable desire to live out of doors an I'M
settled feeling that makes us restless to COM
mune with nature; to leave the world far be-
hind us with its surging tide of human life,
and seek the woods and peaceful glades and
there indulge in sweet; thoughts-memories of
the past-antiCipatiOns of the future and
present realities. The beautiful poem that
heads our column today has suggested these
thoughts, for now the woods are filed with
Golden Rod, and who does not love the beauti-
full Golden Rod that truly seems to nod us a
welcome to the woods where it waves its
eceptre. and we can almost imagine there are
unseen subjects that must bow down and wor-
ship it, for it is beautiful enough to be en-
shrined in our hearts, for does it not in reality
"weave a spell" that causes as to forget
earth's struggles" and 'soothes our tired
brain" To how many heart does the Golden
Rod "bring to mind pictures" of a happy
childhood. We meet daily in our walks, many
returning from a ride or walk in the woods
and all bringing quantities of Golden Rod to
brighten their homes. October brings us the
ripening nuts, and little children are happy as
they vie with the squirrels in gathering and
slowing them away for winter use. There is
no month in all the year when the air feels so
fresh and pure as in October; not too cool nor
too walm. but exhilarating and Strengthening.
One feels as if outdoor life is necessary and all
enjoy the crisp air and the delightful sunshine.
Many persons ask no better pastime than to
look into the windows of ourstores and admire
the grand display of silks and satins velvets
and laces, in all the bright and beautiful coors
of the rainbow, and arranged in the most arts
tic manner to please the eye Of the passer by;
but are they half so much to be admired as the
rich and gorgeous tints Of the leaves OF our
forest trees-autumn leayes-no such blend
ing OF colors in art try Us we may, we cannot
reach the perfection in shades and richness of
color that nature has bestowed on the falling
leaves. AS far as the eye can reach it is daz-
xled with the glorious scene that is presented.
Gold in all its shades, crimson, brown, green
and every conceivable color and shade meet
the eye. There can be nothing half so beauti-
full in all the world as the woods when DOMINIC
its autumn costume. And what pleasure to
sit and watch this lovely scene; it is true en-
jOyment, and we can all, rich and poor, enjoy
this treat for it is free to all Gods creatures.
1t is rich feast to which any can come, ana
truly is that soul 20 be pited whose whole be-
ing is not elevated and purified by being
brought in contact with such scenes, where
they can commune with nature and natures
God.

Golden Rod.

Golden rod, no lding a welcome,
Golden rod, bOnDy and bright,
You bring to my mind picture,
As you wave in the wind tonight
Glory of August sunshine,
Music of birds and bees,
Hum of thousand insects,
Shadow of apple trees;
Close by the dusty roadside,
Perched on q railing high,
Right where the searching sun-kiss
Darts from the blazing sky,
Two happy, sun-browned children,
Careless and gal and gay,
Dream out their dreams OF Elhand
Through the long summer day.
Hats at their feet are lying
They do not heed the glare,
While to their childish flncies,
Visions throng, passing fair.
Each is q fairy princess,
Mounted on steed SO fleet
Scarcely the ground he touches
With his fast-hying feet.
Each is a fairy princess,
Each has golden crown,
Pressing the sunburnt forehead
Guiltless of cares dark froWn.
EIch has fairy sceptrc-
Sceptres that sway and nod;
Sceptres and crowns are blossoms
Blossoms of golden rod
Is there spell still hidden
Deep in your cells of gold,
Such as gave peasant children
Castles and lands TO hold?
Such as t. aastormcd q fence rail
Into a painting steed?
Such as made yellow blossoms
Sceptres Of gold indeed?
Golden rod, nodding welcome,
Weave once again the spell
And, with your old-time magic,
Heal me and make me well
Soothe my tired brain with lancies-
Dreams that Rave never been!
Show NE again the glories
l have in Elhand seen
What have the long years brought NE
That is worth half as much?
Come back, child-heart, still hidden
Safe from the worlds rude touch!
We will forget earth's struggles,
Sitting on yon green sod;
We will go back to Elhand,
Here, with the golden rod.
